    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion. The IBM Engineering team has carefully reviewed this idea, and based on our understanding, it does not fit our near-term plans. Although we are closing this request, it will be kept in IBM's ideas repository. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us to partner with you in developing our products.

    Without filling precondition or post condition of test cases, user save it and while doing the execution user realized precondition is missing.
    If you enable an configuration where we will give an error message when save the test cases.
    Also, we will configure the section( precondition, Post Condition, Test Step etc.) as mandatory on specific state.

    1) This is a valid request that should lead to the creation of a new pre-condition.
    2) The precondition section of Test Cases is a rich-text section that can contain boiler plate text coming from the template that can make it clear what are the expectation for this section. Also, there is a permission that can prevent standard user from removing sections from artifact. Finally, it is impossible to distinguish between a meaningful pre-condtion and a user just putting the text "to be completed later" for example in that section. Given all of this, I would not see the value of this enhancement.
